chastushki and limericks

[Alexandra N. Leontieva]

Hello list,

I attended a poetry evening - held at a pub - that was entirely devoted to
limericks, of course.

The people running it all started asking about chastushki - however, they don't
speak Russian, so here some English-language resources would be required.

My two questions / requests are:


1. Any English resources / translations of chastushki?
2. Russian limericks - I do remember a few, but there should be a few
collections here and there?

Thanks in advance

Alexandra
